Ooohh he talks about the singularity!

Is everyone else looking forward to the singularity, or will you be among those who fear it? I'm all for it... The whole mortality thing is getting old.

I'm all for it, if they let me get brain implants

The singularity may have already happened.

yup... he sold that company (he has an entire chapter about the companies he's owned and products he's invented) and his keyboards are still the most popular worldwide

Cool. I sell those.

No. I refuse to become part of some Hive-Mind, some inhumane creature forced to share my thoughts with other inhuman creatures with human mids.

Of course, there was a whole book written on tat subject, about how the hero didn't want to give up his humanity to save the greater whole of humanity and several other things. You should read; Its not really a good book but the message it carrieswill make you think twice about what you said.

It's people like you who will be the future's equivalents of the Amish.

Nothing wrong with that. They make nice cheese, pies and pickles.

(If you're ever heading up or down 23 in central Ohio, be sure to stop by Renicks (maybe two n's?) Family Market and sample their wares. Mmmmm...good! Not sure they're exactly Amish, tho.

23...23...23...

(That's a movie with Jim Carrey, right? Haven't seen it. Route 23, Sloey.)

Drunken Idaho · Post by **Drunken Idaho** » 03 Dec 2008 12:42

It's a rather lame movie with Jim Carrey...

I especially hate how more than half-way into the film, he's STILL surprised at every little thing that turns up 23... You'd think it would get old, even for him. I know it did for me... It's your typical split-personality bullshit movie.

That's actually a real concept; 23 is the ultimate synchornociety in the universe, first discovered by William S. Burroughs in the 60's. If you pay attention, you'll see it pop everywhere.

But what doe it all mean?

Ever run into one of those dolts who says "It seems every time I look at a clock, it says 11:11 or 5:55... Spooky!"

Those dolts are also victims of a subconscious (if that) selectivity, in which they are subject to suggestive patterns.

You should have chosen another time, set all your clocks to it and unplugged them/took out their batteries.

Sole Man · Post by **Sole Man** » 04 Dec 2008 15:08
